     (b) This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable grant of security interest, and shall remain in full force and effect as set forth in Section 16. All rights of the Secured Parties and the security interests granted to the Third Priority Collateral Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of each other Secured Party) hereunder, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder, shall, in each case, be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of (i) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Notes Document or Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, (ii) the failure of any Secured Party (A) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Grantor or any other Person under the provisions of any Notes Document, Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or otherwise, or (B) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations, (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations, (iv) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations (except until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash) for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Grantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise, (v) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Notes Document or Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, (vi) any addition, exchange or release of any Collateral of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured Party securing any of the Obligations, or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Grantor, any surety or any guarantor.

-17-


 

to take or receive from the Company or any Grantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, then such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Grantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Third Priority Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and shall forthwith be paid to the Third Priority Collateral Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 8(c) is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
     (d) Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, if any Secured Party may, under applicable Requirements of Law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement, the other Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement giving any Secured Party a lien upon any Collateral, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, such Secured Party may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, any Secured Party shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Grantor or any other Person, whether because of any applicable Requirements of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Grantor hereby consents to such action by such Secured Party and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Secured Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that such Grantor might otherwise have had but for such action by such Secured Party.
     9. Collections, etc. Until such time during the existence of an Event of Default as the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall notify such Grantor of the revocation of such power and authority, each Grantor (a) will, at its own expense, endeavor to collect, as and when due, all amounts due under any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, including the taking of such action with respect to such collection as the Third Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request or, in the absence of such request, as such Grantor may deem advisable; and (b) may grant, in the ordinary course of business, to any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral, any rebate, refund or allowance to which such party may be lawfully entitled, and may accept, in connection therewith, the return of Goods, the sale or lease of which shall have given rise to such Non-Tangible Collateral. The Third Priority Collateral Agent, however, may, at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Obligations, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment or otherwise render performance to or for the benefit of the Third Priority Collateral Agent and enforce, by suit or otherwise, the obligations of any such party obligated on any Non-Tangible Collateral. In connection therewith, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon request of the Third Priority Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any party obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.
     10. Release. Collateral shall from time to time be released from the security interest created by this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of both the Indenture and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement. Upon any such release, the Trustee and the applicable Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent will, at the Grantors’ joint and several expense, cause the Third Priority Collateral Agent to deliver to the relevant Grantor, without any representations, warranties or recourse of any kind whatsoever, such released Collateral held by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or

-18-


 

Collateral Control Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release. With respect to any such release, the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel delivered in connection with such release, which Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall be in the form of Attachments III and IV, respectively.

-19-


 

such change (provided that this Section 11(a)(iii) shall not be deemed to authorize any change or transaction prohibited under the Indenture or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement) and shall have taken or will timely take all action necessary to maintain continued perfection and priority of the security interest created hereunder following such change;

     (e) Each Pledgor will, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Control Agent or the Third Priority Collateral Agent, promptly deliver to the Collateral Control Agent such stock powers, instruments, and similar documents, satisfactory in form and substance, following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and the Discharge of Second Priority Claims, to the Trustee and the Third Priority Collateral Agent, with respect to the Collateral as the Collateral Control Agent or the Third Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request and will, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Control Agent or the Third Priority Collateral Agent after the occurrence of any Default, promptly transfer any Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or other shares of common stock, member interests or other ownership interests constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee, designated by the Trustee following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and Discharge of Second Priority Claims.

     (g) In the event that any Dividend or Distribution is to be paid on any Pledged Share or any Pledged Interest or any payment of principal or interest is to be made on any Pledged Note at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Dividend, Distribution or payment may be paid directly to the relevant Grantor. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then any such Dividend, Distribution or payment shall following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and Discharge of Second Priority Claims be paid directly to the Third Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 12(h).
     (h) Following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and Discharge of Second Priority Claims, each Pledgor agrees:
     (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, promptly upon receipt thereof by any Pledgor and without any request therefor by the Third Priority Collateral Agent, to deliver (properly endorsed where required hereby or requested by the Third Priority Collateral Agent) to the Third Priority Collateral Agent all Dividends, Distributions, all interest, all principal, all other cash payments, and all proceeds of the Collateral, all of which shall be held by the Third Priority Collateral Agent as additional Collateral for use in accordance with Section 13(f); and
     (ii) after any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Third Priority Collateral Agent has notified the relevant Pledgor of the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its voting power under this clause (ii), (A) the Third Priority Collateral Agent may exercise (to the exclusion of such Pledgor) the voting power and all other incidental rights of ownership with respect to any Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or other shares of capital stock, member interests or other ownership interests constituting Collateral and EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY GRANTS THE THIRD PRIORITY COLLATERAL AGENT AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY, EXERCISABLE UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE PLEDGED INTERESTS AND SUCH OTHER COLLATERAL, WITH SUCH PROXY TO REMAIN VALID UNTIL THE PAYMENT IN FULL IN CASH OF ALL OBLIGATIONS; and (B) promptly to deliver to the Third Priority Collateral Agent such additional proxies and other documents as may be necessary to allow the Third Priority Collateral Agent to exercise such voting power.
     (i) All Dividends, Distributions, interest, principal, cash payments, and proceeds and all rights under the UK Note and the UK Note Related Security which may at any time and from time to time be held by a Pledgor but which such Pledgor is then obligated to deliver to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, shall, until delivery to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, be held by such Pledgor separate and apart from its other property in trust for the Third Priority Collateral Agent. The Third Priority Collateral Agent agrees that unless it has received written notice from the Required Secured Parties that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have given the notice referred to in Section 12(h)(ii), such Pledgor shall have the exclusive voting power with respect to any shares of capital stock, member interests or other ownership interest (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral and the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall, upon the written request of such Pledgor, promptly deliver (at the Grantors’ joint and several expense) such proxies and other documents, if any, as shall be reasonably requested by such Pledgor which are necessary to allow such Pledgor to exercise voting power with respect to any such share of capital stock, member interests or other ownership interests (including any of the Pledged Shares, Pledged Interests or UK Pledged Shares) constituting Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, or consent, waiver, or ratification given, or action taken by any Pledgor that could reasonably be expected to be adverse in any material respect to the interests of the Third Priority Collateral Agent and the other Se-

cured Parties or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of the Indenture, any other Notes Document (including this Agreement) or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtednesss Agreement.
     (j) No Pledgor will, without the prior written consent of the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent: (A) enter into any agreement amending, supplementing, or waiving in any material respect any provision of any Pledged Note, any Pledged Note Lien or any UK Pledged Share (including the underlying instrument pursuant to which such Pledged Note, Pledged Note Lien or UK Pledged Share is issued) or compromising or releasing or extending the time for payment of any obligation of the maker thereof, (B) take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of that would result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of Pledged Note, Pledged Note Lien, UK Pledged Share or other instrument constituting Collateral, (C) permit the issuance of (x) any additional equity interests of any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer (unless immediately upon such issuance the same are pledged and delivered to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Collateral Control Agent, the First Priority Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent necessary to give the Third Priority Collateral Agent a security interest after such issue in at least the same percentage of such Pledgor’s outstanding interests as before such issue), (y) any securities or other ownership interests convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares or other ownership interests, or (z) any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares or other ownership interests, or (D) enter into any agreement creating or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Share, Pledged Interest or UK Pledged Share that could reasonably be deemed to be adverse to the Secured Parties.

The Pledgors covenant and agree that they shall not consent to or permit (1) any Pledged Interest to be dealt with or traded on any securities exchanges or in any securities market or (2) any Pledge Interest Issuer to elect to have its Pledged Interests treated as a “security” under Article 8 of the UCC unless the relevant Pledgors have (I) caused such Pledged Interest to be certificated and (II) delivered all certificates evidencing such Pledged Interest to the Collateral Control Agent, together with duly executed undated blank transfer powers, or other equivalent instruments of transfer.
     (k) Each Pledgor shall take such actions such that its Collateral consisting of Pledged Interests and Pledged Shares at all times shall be duly authorized, validly registered, fully paid and non-assessable, and shall not be registered in violation of the organic documents of the Pledgors or the preemptive rights of any Person, if any, or of any agreement by which the Pledgors or any Pledged Share Issuer or Pledged Interest Issuer is bound.
     13. Defaults and Events of Default; Remedies.
     (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Third Priority Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Third Priority Collateral Agent may request to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect

-25-


 

of any of the Collateral, (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Collateral in connection with clause (i) above, (iii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Third Priority Collateral Agent may request for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Third Priority Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iv) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES, CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13 IS IRREVOCABLE AND COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL ALL OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL IN CASH.
     (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to its rights in the foregoing clause (a) and without limiting the generality of such clause, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC, under any other applicable Requirements of Law and in the clauses (c) through (g) set forth below in this Section 13.
     (c) Each Grantor agrees, (i) at the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent’s request if a Default has occurred and is continuing, to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) and all records for all Collateral at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Required Secured Parties, and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s or Required Secured Parties’ request, to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the Third Priority Collateral Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.
     (d) Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service, upon the electronic submission through telephonic services or, if by facsimile transmission, when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission, as applicable. Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that: (i) with respect to Collateral that is (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after default and at least ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time before disposition.
     (e) Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software, or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees and acknowledges that a disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable.
     (f) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Third Priority Collateral Agent first to payment of the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s and Collateral Control Agent’s expenses in connection with the Collateral, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, second without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause first above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, based on the amount of Obligations outstanding under the Indenture and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement and then due and owing to (i) the Trustee to be applied as provided in the Indenture, and (ii) each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent to be applied as provided in the applicable Pari Passu Third Lien Indebt-

-26-


 

edness Agreement; and, the balance, if any, to such Grantor or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Third Priority Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party need apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the applicable Grantor has provided the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Third Priority Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any rights hereunder.
     (g) [Reserved].
     (h) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may, without notice except as specified below (or, if notice cannot be waived under the UCC, as required to be provided by the UCC) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Third Priority Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Third Priority Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
     (i) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Third Priority Collateral Agent or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder, notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any amount due or to become due thereunder, enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto, endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral, take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and execute (in the name, place and stead of each Grantor) endorsements, assignments, transfer powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
     (j) Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Third Priority Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable Requirements of Law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and each Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Third Priority Collateral Agent be liable nor accountable to the Grantors for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. The Third Priority Collateral Agent

-27-


 

may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties or representations as to the Collateral. The Third Priority Collateral Agent may disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
     14. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, neither the Third Priority Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Third Priority Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Third Priority Collateral Agent in good faith or by reason of any act or omission by the Third Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to instructions from the Third Priority Collateral Agent, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Third Priority Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Third Priority Collateral Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Required Secured Parties or to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Grantors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Third Priority Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral, or to provide to the Third Priority Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral or (l) to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Third Priority Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Third Priority Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being specifically referred to in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any right to a Grantor or to impose any duties on the Third Priority Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section.

     15. Special Provisions Relating to the Third Priority Collateral Agent. The following provisions shall govern the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s rights, powers, obligations and duties under this Agreement, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
     (a) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have no duty to act, consent or request any action of the Grantors or any other Person in connection with this Third Priority Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy (including all schedules and exhibits attached hereto) unless the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have received written direction from the Trustee and/or other Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agents, in each case, acting on behalf of the Required Secured Parties.
     (b) All indemnities to be paid under this Agreement shall be payable immediately when due in U.S. dollars (“Dollars”) in the full amount due, without deduction for any variation in any Rate of Exchange (as defined below). The Grantors hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Third Priority Collateral Agent against any losses, damages, penalties, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred by the Third Priority Collateral Agent as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the dollar amount is converted into Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the Rate of Exchange at which the Third Priority Collateral Agent is then able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Third Priority Collateral Agent. The indemnity set forth in this paragraph shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Grantors and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “Rate of Exchange” means the rate at which the Third Priority Collateral Agent is able to purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency on the foreign exchange market on the relevant date and shall include any premiums and other reasonable costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency. The indemnification set forth in this Section 15 shall survive the termination or assignment of this Third Priority Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy and the resignation or removal of the Third Priority Collateral Agent.
     (c) For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Third Priority Pledge and Security Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy and those of the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.
     (d) Each of the Trustee, the Holders, each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent and each holder of Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness hereby designate and appoint Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to act as the Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Notes Documents and any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement to which it is a party, and hereby authorize the Third Priority Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, such other Notes Documents and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Third Priority Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, such other Notes Documents and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, any other Notes Document or any such Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, such other Notes Documents and each such Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or any fiduciary rela-

tionship with the Secured Parties, and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Third Priority Collateral Agent.
     (e) The trustee agrees to render to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, at any time upon request of the Third Priority Collateral Agent, an accounting of the amounts of the Obligations owing to the Holders and such other information with respect to the Obligations owing to each such Person as the Third Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to give effect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that the Trustee fails to provide any information required to be provided by it to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, then the Third Priority Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) (i) take such actions as are required to be taken by it based on the most recent information available to it or (ii) in the case of any distributions to be made pursuant to the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, hold the Holders’ share or purported share in escrow (without obligation to pay interest thereon) until the Trustee provides the required information.
     (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Third Priority Collateral Agent have any obligation to inquire or investigate as to the correctness, veracity, or content of any instruction received from the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent on behalf of the Required Secured Parties. In no event shall the Third Priority Collateral Agent have any liability in respect of any such instruction received by it and relied on with respect to any action or omission taken pursuant thereto.
     (g) The Third Priority Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement by or through agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
     (h) Neither the Third Priority Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement (except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties (other than its own recitals, statements, representations or warranties) made in this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Third Priority Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or for any failure of the Grantors or any other Person to perform their obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Secured Party or any other Person to ascertain or to inquire as to (i) the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Grantors, (ii) whether or not any representation or warranty made by any Person in connection with this Agreement, any Notes Document or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement is true, (iii) the performance by any Person of its obligations under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or (iv) the

-30-


 

breach of or default by any Person of its obligations under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement.
     (i) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be bound to (i) account to any Person for any sum or the profit element of any sum received for its own account; (ii) disclose to any other Person any information relating to the Person if such disclosure would, or might, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any Person; (iii) be under any fiduciary duties or obligations other than those for which express provision is made in this Agreement, in any of the Notes Documents or in any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement to which it is a party; or (iv) be required to take any action that it believes, based on advice of counsel, is in conflict with any applicable law, this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, or any order of any court or administrative agency.
     (j) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and except as otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
     (k) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be authorized to but shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or monitoring or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. It is expressly agreed, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral or (ii) taking any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral, but, in each case (A) subject to the requirement that the Third Priority Collateral Agent may not act or omit to take any action if such act or omission would constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and (B) the Third Priority Collateral Agent may do so and all expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith shall be part of the Obligations.
     (l) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Third Priority Collateral Agent in good faith, except to the extent of the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
     (m) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for, nor incur any liability with respect to, (i) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interest in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Third Priority Collateral Agent, (ii) the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, (iii) the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, (iv) insuring the Collateral or (v) the payment of taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.
     (n) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement to the contrary, (i) in no event shall the Third Pri-

-31-


 

ority Collateral Agent or any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of the Third Priority Collateral Agent be liable under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits or loss of opportunity, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Third Priority Collateral Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought; and (ii) the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Agreement in all of the Notes Documents and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such Notes Document or Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall the Third Priority Collateral Agent be obligated to invest any amounts received by it hereunder.
     (o) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, request, direction, certificate, notice, consent, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, email, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and/or upon advice and/or statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Third Priority Collateral Agent and need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. Any such statement of legal counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance therewith. Any statement or advice of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of an officer of the Trustee. In connection with any request or direction of the Trustee, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instruction delivered by the Trustee. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement (i) if such action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Third Priority Collateral Agent (which may be based on the opinion of legal counsel), be contrary to applicable law, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, (ii) if such action is not specifically provided for in this Agreement or any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, (iii) if, in connection with the taking of any such action hereunder or under any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement that would constitute an exercise of remedies hereunder, under any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Trustee and/or Holders against any and all risk of nonpayment, liability and expense that may be incurred by it, its agents or its counsel by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, or (iv) if, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with the taking of any such action that would constitute a payment due under any agreement or document, it shall not first have received from the Trustee and/or Holders or the Grantors funds equal to the amount payable. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement in accordance with a request of the Trustee, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the other Secured Parties.
     (p) If, with respect to a proposed action to be taken by it, a Third Priority Collateral Agent shall determine in good faith that the provisions of this Agreement, any other Notes Document or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement relating to the functions or responsibilities or discretionary powers of the Third Priority Collateral Agent are or may be ambiguous or

-32-


 

inconsistent, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall notify the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent, identifying the proposed action, and may decline either to perform such function or responsibility or to take the action requested unless it has received the written confirmation of the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent that the action proposed to be taken by the Third Priority Collateral Agent is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or is otherwise appropriate. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the confirmation of the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent on behalf of the Required Secured Parties, in this respect, and such confirmation shall be binding upon the Secured Parties.
     (q) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until the Third Priority Collateral Agent has received a written notice or a certificate from the Trustee, any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent or the Grantors stating that a Default has occurred. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such notice or certificate to inquire whether a Default has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any notice or certificate so furnished to it. No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement shall require the Third Priority Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents, under any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work or to take the action requested is not reasonably assured to it, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may decline to act unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement, any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Third Priority Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Third Priority Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
     (r) Notwithstanding that the Third Priority Collateral Agent is appointed by and acting for and at the direction of the Secured Parties, the Grantors will jointly and severally pay upon demand to the Third Priority Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable fees (including any as set forth in one or more separate fee letters of the Third Priority Collateral Agent) and out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, that the Third Priority Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the negotiation, performance or administration of this Agreement, the Notes Documents and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement to which it is a party, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of any of the rights of the Third Priority Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder, under the Notes Documents or under any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement or (iv) the failure by the Grantors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or of any of the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and resignation or removal of the Third Priority Collateral Agent. The expenses of the Third Priority Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 15 shall be payable jointly and severally by the Grantors to the Third Priority Collat-

-33-


 

eral Agent upon demand therefor (which demand shall be accompanied by an appropriate invoice).
     (s) Each of the Secured Parties expressly acknowledges that neither the Third Priority Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact has made any representations or warranties to it (except as expressly provided herein) and that no act by the Third Priority Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the Grantors, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Third Priority Collateral Agent to any Secured Party. The Trustee and the Holders represent to the Third Priority Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Grantors. The Trustee and the Holders also represent that each will, independently and without reliance upon the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Grantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by the Third Priority Collateral Agent hereunder, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Grantors which may come into the possession of the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact.
     (t) The Grantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify each of the Third Priority Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement; provided that the Grantors shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent that any of the foregoing result from any such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction beyond all applicable appeals.
     (u) Subject to clause (bb) below, neither the Third Priority Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Subject to clause (bb) below, the powers conferred on the Third Priority Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Third Priority Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-34-


 

     (v) Pursuant to any applicable law, the Grantors authorize the Third Priority Collateral Agent without obligation to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signatures of the Grantors in such form and in such offices as the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Agreement. The Grantors hereby ratify and authorize the filing by the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the Third Priority Collateral Agent have any duty or obligation to monitor the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral or to prepare or file any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or continuation statement.
     (w) The Grantors acknowledge that the rights and responsibilities of the Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Third Priority Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by such agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Third Priority Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantors shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
     (x) Any corporation into which the Third Priority Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be a party, shall become a Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.
     (y) The Third Priority Collateral Agent may resign as Third Priority Collateral Agent at any time upon written notice to the Trustee, each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent and the Grantors and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Trustee and/or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent in each case acting on behalf of the Required Secured Parties, with any such resignation or removal to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Section. If the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall provide notice of its resignation or be removed as Third Priority Collateral Agent, then the Required Secured Parties (and if no such successor shall have been appointed within 45 days of the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may) appoint a successor agent for the Secured Parties, which successor agent shall, in the case of any appointment by the Third Priority Collateral Agent, be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and/or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent in each case acting on behalf of the Required Secured Parties, and the former Third Priority Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Third Priority Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Third Priority Collateral Agent (except that the resigning Third Priority Collateral Agent at the joint and several expense of the Grantors shall deliver all Collateral then in its possession to the successor Third Priority Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver to the successor Third Priority Collateral Agent such instruments of assignment and transfer and other similar documents as such successor Third Priority Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or advisable) or any of the Secured Parties. After any retiring Third Priority Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Third Priority Collateral Agent, the provi-

-35-


 

sions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Third Priority Collateral Agent. In the event that a successor Third Priority Collateral Agent is not appointed within the time period specified in this Section 15 following the provision of a notice of resignation or removal of the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Third Priority Collateral Agent (at the joint and several expense of the Grantors).
     (z) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall maintain accurate and complete accounts, books, records and computer systems with respect to all matters related directly to the administration of the Collateral, in each case consistent with the customary procedures of the Third Priority Collateral Agent.
     (aa) The Third Priority Collateral Agent shall at the Grantors’ joint and several expense make available to the Trustee, each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent and their duly authorized representatives, attorneys and auditors, the files and accounts, books, records and computer systems maintained by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any subcontractor or agent thereof in respect of the Collateral at the locations where such files, accounts, books, records and computer systems are maintained pursuant to this Agreement and the other Notes Documents and any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, during normal business hours and subject to reasonable prior written notice.
     (bb) Upon receipt of indemnity requested by the Third Priority Collateral Agent and assuming the requested action does not conflict with other clauses of this Section 15, the Third Priority Collateral Agent shall act upon the specific instructions of the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent on behalf of the Required Secured Parties, except for any instructions that in the good faith judgment of the Third Priority Collateral Agent may be contrary to any Security Document or applicable law.
     For the sake of clarity, the parties intend that the term “Notes Documents” includes all English Security Documents and Account Control Agreements (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility as in effect on the Issue Date).
     (cc) The Collateral Control Agent shall be entitled to all of the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities under this Agreement as are afforded to it under the Intercreditor Agreement, as if fully set forth herein.
     For the avoidance of doubt, only the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent on behalf of the Required Secured Parties are entitled to direct the Collateral Control Agent to act, consent or request any action in connection with this Agreement.
     16. General. With respect to each Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture or as otherwise required by the Notes Documents or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, the Grantors shall and at the option of the relevant Grantor, with respect to any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor, a Grantor may, cause such Subsidiary to become a Grantor hereunder, and such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Third Priority Collateral Agent (with a copy to the Trustee, each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent and the Collateral Control Agent) a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Attachment II (each a “Joinder Agreement”) and such Subsidiary shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Issue Date.

-36-


 

     Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement is sufficient as a financing statement. The Grantors hereby ratify their authorization contained in Section 11(a) for the Third Priority Collateral Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction prior to the date hereof any financing statement or amendment thereto filed prior to the date hereof.
     All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent, in the case of any Grantor, to the address of such Grantor shown in Schedule I hereto and, in the case of the Third Priority Collateral Agent, at its address set forth beneath its signature page hereto, or to such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission or e-mail shall be deemed to have been given when sent against mechanical confirmation of successful transmission; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when received.
     Each of the Grantors agrees to pay, jointly and severally, all fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees paid or incurred by the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent in endeavoring to collect all or any portion of the Obligations, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this Agreement against such Grantor, and all such fees and expenses shall constitute Obligations.
     No delay on the part of the Third Priority Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Third Priority Collateral Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
     This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until both (i) occurrence of the earlier of (a) the discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article XI thereof and (b) the satisfaction of the conditions in Article XIII of the Indenture with respect to a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture and (ii) in the case of each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, the repayment of the Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness under such agreement which entitles the Grantors to obtain a release of the Liens securing such Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness under the Security Documents. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to any of the Obligations is or must be rescinded or returned by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or such Secured Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor), such Obligations shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligations, all as though such application by the Third Priority Collateral Agent or such Secured Party had not been made.
     Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Requirements of Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Grantor (the “Affected Person”), automatically and without any further action being required of

-37-


 

such Affected Person or any Secured Party, shall be liable under this Agreement only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by such Affected Person under any pledge to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of such Affected Person’s obligations hereunder for fraudulent conveyance or transfer (or similar avoidance) purposes, on the date determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical pledge voidable under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount determined hereunder being any such Affected Person’s “Maximum Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Pledge Agreement as to such Affected Person had instead been the Maximum Amount. This paragraph is intended solely to preserve the rights of Secured Parties under this Agreement to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law, and neither any Affected Person nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Agreement, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Affected Person under this Agreement shall not be rendered voidable under applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of a Maximum Amount for any Affected Person pursuant to the provisions of the second preceding sentence of this Section shall not in any manner reduce or otherwise affect the obligations of any other Grantor (including any other Affected Person) under the provisions of this Agreement.
     This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until both (1) the occurrence of the earlier of (a) the discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article XI thereof and (b) the satisfaction of the conditions in Article XIII of the Indenture with respect to a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture and (2) in the case of each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, the repayment of the Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness under such agreement which entitles the Grantors to obtain a release of the Liens securing such Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness under the Security Documents, (b) be binding upon each Grantor and its successors, transferees and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Third Priority Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Third Priority Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party and its respective successors, transferees and assigns. No Grantor may assign (unless otherwise permitted under the terms of the Notes Documents and any extant Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement) any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent.
     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Third Priority Collateral Agent a counterpart of this Agreement together with supplements to the Schedules hereto setting forth all relevant information with respect to such party as of the date of such delivery. Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.
     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (BUT WITH REFERENCE TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, WHICH BY ITS TERMS APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT).

     17. Foreign Pledge Agreements.

-39-


 

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Notes Document or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, in the event that any Collateral is also pledged to the Third Priority Collateral Agent to secure the Obligations by any Grantor pursuant to any security, pledge or similar agreement governed by foreign law (a “Foreign Pledge Agreement”) and the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Grantor shall comply with the provisions of such Foreign Pledge Agreement and shall not be deemed to have breached any representation or covenant contained herein or in any other Notes Document or any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement as a result thereof.
     (b) If Supporting Assets with respect to the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note are transferred at a time when (x) the fair market value of such Supporting Assets is less than (y) the Carrying Value thereof as of the Issue Date (the difference between such amounts beings the “Adjustment Amount”); the Company shall be entitled, following consultation with the Trustee, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Dutch VFLN Receivables or the UK Note, as applicable, by the Adjustment Amount; provided that such transfer complies with the applicable requirements of the Indenture and each then extant Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement.
     18. Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness
     On or after the Issue Date, the Company may from time to time designate additional obligations as Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness by delivering to the Third Priority Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent (a) a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Company (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as “Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness” for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation complies with the terms of the Indenture and each then extant Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, (iii) specifying the name and address of the Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agent for such obligations (if other than the Trustee) and (iv) stating that the Grantors have complied with their obligations under Sections 11 and 12; (b) except in the case of Additional Notes, a fully executed Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Joinder Agreement; and (c) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the designation of such obligations as “Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness” does not violate the terms of the Indenture and each then extant Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement (upon which the Third Priority Collateral Agent and the Trustee may conclusively and exclusively rely).
     19. Intercreditor Matters.
     By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, the other Security Documents and any Pari Passu Third Lien Indebtedness Agreement, as applicable, each Secured Party agrees that it is bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to such Secured Party. Each of the Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the date, time or creation of any Liens securing any of the Obligations under the Security Agreement or the Security Documents, the Obligations shall be equally and ratably secured by the Liens of the Security Agreement and the Security Documents and all Liens securing any of the Obligations (and any proceeds received from the enforcement of any such Liens) shall be for the equal and ratable benefit of all Secured Parties shall be applied as provided in Section 13(f). Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereunder and of the Security Documents, hereby agrees for the benefit of the other Secured Parties that, to the extent any additional or substitute collateral for any of the Obligations is delivered by a Grantor to or for the benefit of any Secured Party, such collateral shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 19. Each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees not to challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Security Document (in each case as a whole or any term or provision contained therein) or the validity of any Lien or financing statement in favor of the Third Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as provided in the Secu-

rity Agreement and the other Security Documents, or the relative priority of any such Lien. Subject to the Third Priority Collateral Agent’s rights under Section 15, the Required Secured Parties may direct the Third Priority Collateral Agent in exercising any remedy available to the Third Priority Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any Security Document. In the absence of any such instruction, the Third Priority Collateral Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to) exercise such rights and remedies in any manner that complies with Section 15.

     In [my][our] examination, [I][we] have assumed the genuineness of all signatures including endorsements, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to [me][us] as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

     Except as otherwise specified herein or as the context may otherwise require, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in the Third Priority Security Agreement.
     In rendering the opinions set forth herein, [I][we] have examined and relied on originals or copies of the following:

     (iii) an Officer’s Certificate of [                    ], a [title], of [name of applicable Grantor], dated [                    ] (the “Officer’s Certificate”) delivered by [name of applicable Grantor] pursuant to Section 10 of the Third Priority Security Agreement and Section 8.04 of the Indenture (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto).
